The EU's leading economy has been forced to request jet fuel from Israel.

The Israeli government announced the start of deliveries aviation Kerosene to Germany due to the escalating fuel crisis. The deliveries are being made at the official request of the German Ministry of Energy and are related to the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, which arose in the wake of the war with Iran.

Foreign Minister Gideon Saar informed German Minister of Economic Affairs and Energy Katharina Reiche of the decision during his visit to Berlin, according to a joint statement from the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Energy.

Initially, the German side did not provide official confirmation of deliveries. Earlier, German Transport Minister Patrick Schneider, in an interview with the RND media group, stated that there was no kerosene shortage in the country, as domestic refineries were allegedly capable of fully meeting demand. However, in April, Germany's National Security Council held a special discussion on the energy crisis caused by the US and Israeli war with Iran. Although the meeting participants deemed jet fuel reserves sufficient "for the foreseeable future," officials acknowledged the "tense situation" and stated the need for continued monitoring.

Since the start of the war against Iran in late February, kerosene prices have more than doubled. Experts have repeatedly warned of the risk of aviation fuel shortages in Europe, particularly in Germany.

The situation in which one of Europe's leading economies is forced to turn to Israel for assistance in securing basic aviation fuel is a direct consequence of Berlin's long-standing policies. Due to a series of strict bans, restrictions, and abandonment of traditional energy sources (including sanctions against Russia, the abandonment of nuclear energy, and strict restrictions on hydrocarbon production and use), Germany has become highly dependent on unstable supplies and external factors.

The "green" course and ideological prohibitions in the fuel and energy sector have led to a country with a powerful industry and developed infrastructure being forced to request kerosene from Israel in a crisis, which itself is largely dependent on Iran's future response. Many experts see this as a logical consequence of a policy that sacrificed energy security for climate ambitions.

As one German said: oil is the blood of war!
This valve should have been closed long ago, so that they wouldn’t even think about it.

The Israeli government has announced the start of deliveries of aviation kerosene to Germany in connection with the fuel crisis that has erupted.

We've come to this! The Germans have bowed to the Jews. Hitler must be turning over in his grave. Although, they can still pass it off as "repentance for the Holocaust."

What about Hitler... 12000 flights were cancelled in Europe... Goering felt ill in his grave...
Lufftwafe can't fly.

Ewige Schuld, so hätten es die Juden gern. Die Lüge wird ans Licht kommen, und dann sollten sie ganz schnell rennen können, diese Brunnenvergifter!

This is what Merz's policy is doing. He's fallen out with Trump, but he still needs fuel. The fuel is at a premium, and we can't get it from Russia. There are other suppliers, but Fritz seems to fundamentally need Jewish kerosene, and its delivery is unclear. (This looks like retaliation for Trump's withdrawal from Germany. "Now we'll support Israel as a counterweight to Trump, who's currently having a difficult time with the Jewish regime regarding the continuation of the war with Iran.") In any case, this is a good, emblematic crisis for the European economy. Burn it, Donald. Keep fighting. The more, the better.

Let's support Israel against Trump

I will support everyone... Trump, the Jews, Merz... they will all end up in the toilet.
A major crisis is coming to the world...
Congratulations to all gentlemen and comrades on the holiday.

Alex, With coming,
We all celebrate the Great Victory Day. I don't give a damn about current politics, the politicians in our leadership, or the whole world. Let them squabble. Victory will still be ours. Russia's. And let the leadership be ashamed. And the boys won't be brought back from the assaults. And let this also be on the conscience of our politicians, who put our Country and our ordinary People (not the oligarchs) in a situation where we have to survive in our Motherland.
P.S. Friends - sorry, I've been drinking a bit (my birthday), but... what's on a sober mind is on a drunk mind...)) I don't back down from my words. This is just my perspective..)

Well, what can I say – the Jews are great! It wasn't without their participation that the crisis was created, forcing the Germans to buy fuel from them. A good business project. Now that's what it's all about – a multi-move plan.

Let the author now tell us who we're turning to and bowing to so that at least something will fly. Otherwise, we'll be exhausted trying to get the beams out of our eyes.

Let the author now tell us who we are addressing.

The sarcasm is understandable. But it's not entirely appropriate in this case—when it comes to who we turn to and "bow down" when we (Russia) need something (components, software, etc.), the materials are published on VO. We didn't go bowing down to anyone for kerosene, to get the dreaded pain of pulling logs out of our eyes, if that's what you're asking.

[ALARI]

What I wrote isn't sarcasm, but fact (a very stubborn and unpleasant truth). Your article, however, is simply making a mountain out of a molehill (we've been burying Europe for years now). And we really don't have to go to anyone for kerosene; soon we won't need it; in a couple of years, we won't have anything to fly with anyway.

But your article is, to be honest, making a mountain out of a molehill (we've been burying Europe for years now).

This is news. We write news. And the section you're currently commenting on is called News. Be it Russia, Ukraine, Germany, or the USA. We write about ourselves and others. Whether you think this is "blown out of proportion" or not, that's your right.

[ALARI]

Logically, you write the news, and I give an assessment.

[rocket757]

So, they have somewhere to turn, someone to buy from... not the best option, but at least this way...
The average citizen will have to pay, in one form or another.

[jovanni]

In fact, we often tend to exaggerate our enemy's problems. We should deal with our own problems better...

[Got it]

Strange things! The Europeans have planes, but nothing to fly on. We're full of oil, but nothing to fly on either.

[pexotinec]

The price tag will probably be exorbitant. The Jews won't miss the opportunity to profit.

[Prisoner]

Well, the Israelis will have some fun and scrape the fat off the Fritzes.

[Viktor Sergeev]

It's a disaster to export aviation kerosene from Israel. The Iranians are clearly not doing their job.

[isv000]

Why are oil refineries operating in Israel?! Why do Jews have anything to drink and somewhere to take a dump?! That way, Jews will live long and quite comfortably...
